Faster-than-an-actual-jet impressive? You be the judge.

The classic David Bowie song, “Starman” brought the right amount of energy to the commercial, which tells the story of a retired astronaut who lost his passion for life, but then rediscovers it when he gets behind the wheel of his son’s 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus.

Audi recently created a 360-degree gif of the Audi RS7 using pumpkin cameras. Check out the link below to see the eerie images created using lens-less exposure.

In its latest TV spot for the made-over 2016 Audi TT, the German automaker entered the overactive imagination of a child. And while the TT is the star of the show, it's the commercial's undeniable feeling of youth that stuck with us most.

Beneath the TT's bonnet, a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with a six-speed automatic gearbox. They work together to twist out a truly terrific 230 horsepower and 0-to-60 mph times that clock in at…
